Hidden: Strings of Fate

CHAPTER 50

"Just so you know, I regret nothing from that night, Honey." He looked at my down casted eyes. I pushed him away and adjusted my clothes. I put the strap of my bag over my other shoulder so that it went across my torso and headed back towards the restaurant. I pushed my hair towards my back. I saw him following me from the reflection in the windows. I ran in and looked towards the table. Mi Cha was there, flirting with the boys at my table. The rest of the occupants of my table were unaware that I had come back in. I saw Jun Gi looking around for something. So was Min. I couldn't go back to the table. Not like this. I needed to compose myself before going back. I couldn't let them see me fall apart like this so easily. I wouldn't.

I headed towards the bathroom. Pushing through the double set of doors, I headed into a cubicle. My tears began to fall. Where had my life gone so wrong? Was I hated by the heavens? Is that why I was born with such a cursed fate? I clutched my heart as I wept it out. I held my head in my arms. I felt alone. Why was this happening to me? I had never done anything to hurt anyone. Roughly 10 minutes later, I heard the door open. I pulled my feet onto the toilet seat and hid.

"Ommo! How lucky are we? The same groups of guys that were at that party a year ago came into our restaurant! Jae Hwa is going to be so jealous!!!"

"So which one's your type? The one who ordered the spaghetti alla carbonara or the one who ordered the lasagne al forno?"

"To be honest, I like both of them. One of them is cute and looks like he'll be a good boyfriend, and the other looks like he's a tsundere."

"That's so sexy! There is no way a guy is that good looking! He must be from another country. Ask for his number before he leaves. You never know, you could end up dating him."

"Maybe. So which one did you like then?"

"The other guy that ordered the spaghetti alla carbonara. He looked like he had just become available."

"There is no way a guy is that good looking and doesn't already have a girlfriend."

"I don't mind being the cause of an affair. Plus if it means he breaks up with his girlfriend and goes out with me, even better."

"On the plus side both of them look like they're experts in bed. I had a look at the guy who ordered the lasagne al forno, and he was big. But the guy that followed after him, you know the one that ordered the spaghetti alla carbonara? Oh my God, I would love to wrap...."

'They can't be talking about my table, could they?'

"But why were those two girls with them again? Do you think that they're dating one of them? What kind of girls has that many good looking male friends?" 'They were. Our table is the only table with that many guys. So that means... they were talking about Taekwoon, Wonshik and... Jun Gi?' My eyes widened at the mention of his name.

"They've probably slept with all of them. That's why they follow them around like puppies."

"Did you see how that guy followed one of them out of the restaurant just because she was going with one of the other guys?"

"She was probably his tonight but she wanted the other one. He probably gave a bigger ring or a better phone than the other guy."

'Are you serious? Is that what they think of us? That were just some cheap girls that date guys just for objects? That we only date them for stuff not caring about our honour?' I put my feet down on the floor gently. I was going to confront them. How dare they think of us like that! How dare they think of my boys like that?! I was going to rip them to pieces.

"Ahem." Someone clearing their throat interrupted them. "You girls should really focus on serving the customers, not commenting on how big or how rich they are." I heard two pairs of footsteps walk away rapidly. "Oh and by the way, they wouldn't date girls like you. Trust me, I would know. You know considering, I've slept with all of them." I heard them say. The door closed.

"Honey, are you in here?" I heard Min's voice. I sighed. I got up and opened the cubicle's door venturing out towards the mirror. I looked a mess. I ran the water on one of the sinks. I repeatedly splashed my face with handfuls of water to help myself calm down. She lay a hand on my arm.

"Are you OK? What happened? I saw Ravi oppa come in quietly and sit down. I thought you went with him. How come Leo oppa came in running after you? And why did you run to the bathroom as soon as you came in? Did something happen? Did Leo do something? Should I kick his face in?" I sighed. I had stop her or else she actually would do just that.

"Nothing... happened. I just needed some fresh air." I pulled some tissue out of the dispenser and dabbed the water off my face. I blew my nose and fixed my hair before heading out. Min followed after. She headed towards the table. I headed towards the counter. I looked over and found VIXX had finished eating and there were eagerly waiting for me to return. Pulling out my purse, I counted the correct amount of money for the bill and paid for it. I rushed out discreetly after getting the receipt not willing to say a word to anyone. I couldn't face them. Not now.

I headed towards the car, speed walking as fast as I could.

"Honey!!"

"Yah! Honey!"

"Where are you going?"

Oh great... just great! I could hear VIXX behind me. And Jun Gi. Oh and Min too. This is exactly what I was trying to avoid.

I began to run faster. The patting of rapid footsteps came closer. I ran until I couldn't run anymore. I stopped in a nearby park. Ducking behind some bushes, I waited for Min and VIXX to pass me.

"Honey! Where are you?" I heard them call out.

I didn't realise that someone was creeping up behind me until I felt a hand clamp my mouth and another wrap around my waist in order to drag me away.
